I am looking for the best way to track internal projects. I have gone back and for as to just creating tickets in spiceworks for projects and just not worrying about the difference between an issue vs a project. I know there are several ways: SharePoint task list, Outlook task list, one note, and I'm sure others. I am looking for ways others have done this. I ultimately would like something that would have a mobile version, or access for our tablets and phones. We are on the go as we are a small IT dept for a school. So multiple projects going on at once and only a few internal users.

I create tickets in SW to track projects. I also created a custom datatype for my helpdesk so I could specify if a ticket is a project or not. I then added a custom view so I could see only open tickets or open tickets that are marked as projects

It depends on what your major requirements are and what platform meets those requirements along with that your users will use. I would think SW should work fine if you use the mobile apps. If you need to separate the projects from the tickets you could just make a projects category in SW or have some other way to separate them out.

You really need to look at what you are trying to achieve with the project management software. Do you need collaboration, budget tools, meeting forums, shared file systems, projections and reporting, scheduling, time management and tracking, etc. etc. Here is a list of tools used by project management teams for different requirements.
